Seattle Flower & Bulb Co. v. E. S. Burgan & Sons, Inc.

— This action involves the sale of seventy-five cases of tulip bulbs. Appellant, a wholesaler, contends that the sale was absolute. Respondent, the operator of a chain of retail stores, alleges that appellant guaranteed the resale of the bulbs, with the provision that any unsold bulbs would be taken back or otherwise disposed of, and credit given therefor.

The parties have adverse versions of the events and circumstances of the transaction and conflicting interpretations of the agreement.

The trial court believed respondent’s witnesses and accepted its theory of the transaction.
